There was a strange tension between us. As the saying goes, ‘the world is indeed a small place.”

How on earth could the lady that insulted me be his sister. My life would definitely be a living hell. I could see the shock on her face. She undoubtedly knew she had messed up big time.

She greeted Sebastian with a curt nod before turning to me. I squeezed a smile, trying to ease the tension but it was still visible. No doubt she was amazingly dressed but she still looked warm.

“Hi, Genevieve.” I said, stretching out my hand.

“Is this the woman you said you married?” She asked, turning to Sebastian while my hand was left hanging.

Interesting, isn't it.

“Yes, is there a problem?”

I could see her anger suppressed. She definitely didn't want to speak to make Sebastian not figure out the brief fight that transported between us.

“Nevermind.” She squeezed a smile and shook my once hanging hand.

“Nice to meet you. And you are?”

“His wife, Natalie Wilson.”

“Interesting. I'm Genevieve. So, you’r

    ADRIAN'S POV The rain starts as a whisper, soft against the glass, then turns wild. I can barely see her through it. Ellie is just a shadow running down the street, small against the storm, her coat flapping behind her.I don’t think. I just go after her.The cold hits me as soon as I step outside. The wind slaps my face, the rain finds every open space on my skin, but I don’t stop. All I can see is her. She walks fast, like she wants the rain to wash something off her. Like maybe she’s trying to forget everything that happened between us.“Ellie!” I shout, my voice breaking through the sound of the rain. She doesn’t turn. I push forward, my shoes splashing through puddles, the water soaking through my shirt.When I reach her, she’s trembling. Her hair sticks to her face, and she won’t even look at me.“Ellie, stop. Please.”She stops, but she doesn’t face me. Her shoulders rise and fall, heavy and tired. For a moment, the rain is the only thing talking between us.“What do you want,

    Chapter 123The office feels colder today.Maybe it’s the air conditioner, or maybe it’s him.Adrian Cole.He’s been here only two days, but it already feels like he’s everywhere - in every meeting, every email, every corridor I walk through. His name keeps coming up in conversations, in whispers, in my head.I keep telling myself it’s fine. That it’s just work. That I can handle this.But every time I hear his calm and low voice, I remember that hotel room.And the way silence felt like a heartbeat between us.I sit at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me. My fingers hover over the keyboard, typing words that don’t make sense. June sits across from me, humming softly, unaware that I’m falling apart in slow motion.“He’s in his office,” she says suddenly, glancing at me. “You know, the new guy. Mr. Cole. Have you seen his watch? It probably costs more than my rent.”I laugh weakly. “You notice the strangest things.”“I notice everything,” she says, leaning clos

    I rush into my room like the world is chasing me. The door slams behind me, loud enough to make the picture frame on the wall shake. My shoes are still in my hand, my hair a mess, and the morning sun hits my face in a way that makes me squint.I’m late.Late for work. Late for life. Late for everything, oh my fucking god. My head hurts. It feels like my heartbeat has moved behind my eyes. I toss my bag on the bed, grab my phone, and see twenty missed calls from my co-worker, June. One message reads, “Ellie, the boss is mad. Meeting in 30 mins.”“God,” I whisper, pressing my hand against my forehead. “Not today.”How could I possibly have forgotten I had an important day today, ending up in a man's bed! The smell of last night’s perfume still lingers in the air. It mixes with regret and exhaustion. My black dress from last night is on the chair, wrinkled, a reminder of the mistake I’m trying so hard to forget. I grab it, shove it inside my laundry basket, and force myself not to look

    Chapter 121One Night StandI am Ellie. It's pronounced El-eeee.And tonight, I don’t even recognize myself.The mirror in this dim hotel bathroom is cracked at the corner, and my lipstick smudges look like a wound on my face. My reflection feels like a stranger’s, one who wears a tight black dress and fake confidence. I used to be the kind of girl who believed in second chances, who thought the world rewarded honesty. But that was before London chewed me up and spat me out.Now, I’m just trying to breathe.The city outside feels alive, almost angry. From the window, I can see cars moving fast, their lights flashing like tiny stars in the dark.People are still awake, laughing, shouting, living their lives like the night will never end. But inside this room is quiet.Too quiet.I can hear my own breathing, shaky and heavy. I hold on to the edge of the sink, gripping it so tight that my fingers start to hurt.It’s the only thing keeping me steady at this point. Because right now, I f

    Natalie's POV – Six Months LaterSix months had passed. A lot had changed, but the wound in my heart still hadn’t completely healed. I still woke up some nights shaking, remembering the moment I found out the truth. Remembering the betrayal, the pain, the loss of my child. Some things, you don’t just forget. You learn to live with them.Becky was now in jail. And not just that, the court had sentenced Iris again. This time to death by hanging. I never thought I would ever wish such punishment for someone, but with Becky, I couldn’t find a single drop of pity in my soul. She deserved every single pain that came her way. The lies, the poisoning, the fact that she looked me in the eye and still acted like my family -it made my blood boil.I remembered wa

    Natalie’s POVI never imagined myself walking into a prison, but here I was. My palms were sweaty, my heartbeat loud in my ears. Alfred had said something strange the last time we spoke. "Maybe it's time you talk to your sister," he said. I laughed at him. Me? Talk to Iris? The same Iris who ruined everything in my life? But the way he said it - serious and low, like he knew something I didn’t - it had been stuck in my mind since then.Perhaps she was really sorry and want to apologize.So here I was.The guard led me down a narrow hallway. The air was thick, the walls dull grey. I hated the smell - disinfectant mixed with something rotten.
